From Bristol to Melbourne to Berlin to Graz, the SRAM Scholars 2025 each carry their own story but share one purpose: to make frame building more inclusive.

Bee builds from the streets of Australia, where Gutter Bikes began as a rebellion and grew into community.

Telbert and Addisa build from love, a geometry lesson and a bond between father and son.

Kata from Rasch builds from art and purpose, forging her path beside Drust and opening doors for non-male builders.

RESET builds from resilience, proving innovation starts where access is denied.

Together, they are the SRAM Scholars, voices shaping a future where everyone belongs in the workshop. Thank you SRAM for giving these stories space to grow!

The show rolls on for two more days—Saturday and Sunday.
